The economy is improving???? Is it tens of millions of workers who are out of work that makes it improve? Is it the fact that virtually 100% of the new jobs created go to H1Bs and illegals? Fantasy and fiction all the way.
Printing of money is the only thing keeping the U.S. economy afloat. Everything right now is running on monopoly money.
We're 18 trillion in debt. If the feds were to increase interest rates as much as a full % or two, the U.S would go bankrupt.
Notice how the feds say they're going to have to raise interest rates "in about 6 months", but every six months they grant an extension. It's because they CAN'T and NEVER will be able to raise the rates - not without bursting the national debt bubble.
They've pushed the economy in to a corner and now there's no way out. The printing of money can go on forever, but the more money they print, the less it's worth. Eventually, a sheet of toilet paper is going to be 10 times more valuable.
Washington can't fix this. Maybe that's why the military has been moved into the U.S. cities. Maybe that's why they're having "people control" drills right now. There has to be a good reason for this, because this type of training isn't cheap - especially when we already owe 18 trillion with no way to ever pay it off!
